Pins, Needles, Trains, & Automobiles

The results of Andrew Bynum's MRI exam became a long, winding road that ended in a medical cul de sac. The extent of the damage to his sprained right knee will not be known until today, the Lakers unable to get past an unusual version of planes, trains and automobiles when independent knee specialist David Altchek did not return in time from a trip to Florida to read the results by nightfall Sunday.

It was a puzzling day, one in which the Lakers arrived for a light midafternoon practice at a Manhattan sports club without really knowing what to say about Bynum. Lakers doctors were also unable to look at the MRI results because of unspecified technological differences between their computers and those used at the hospital.

"We're all just on pins and needles waiting," said Bynum's agent, David Lee. "We're all walking on eggshells."
